Coach: It definitely felt like a mountaintop experience...I kept hearing his words in my mind throughout the day - reminding me of what I'm working toward.
Veronica: That's another part of the secret, isn't it? Giving the tree time to bear fruit. Sometimes it's the impatience that harms us the most.
Rob: I like what you've got on your mirror - in fact, since reading the first item when you posted it on your thread, I've had those words locked in my mind whenever I find myself stuck and not feeling up to what I have to do. At this point, I think things might start to pick up for me again by the end of August early September...though financially this has been the worst July I've ever had. Though I don't feel anger about it, I do have regrets that I put so much money into something that was so doomed to failure - it was just such an unhealthy way to cling to hope instead of accepting reality. What's the update on your dog?
Alex: It's amazing what children can say...I'm very impressed with your older boy's plans - seems like a very healthy idea.
To borrow the quote from Coach: "Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be." These words should be in the first page of any instruction manual for living.
